Description and
map
Rare and many faceted beauty matched by impeccable upkeep make this
course a true ‘pearl’ of Portuguese golf. Its eighteen widely
ranging holes run past pine trees, lakes and beaches beside the
Atlantic Ocean.
Designed by the American Joseph Lee, San Lorenzo was voted
Continental Europe's second best golf course by the Golf World
magazine. The course's impeccable upkeep and its rare beauty make
this an attractive challenge for any player.
Situated in the Quinta do Lago development and forming part of the
Ria Formosa Natural Park, a round on this course begins with an
enticing but almost unachievable Par 5, before continuing to the
three following holes along rolling, pine tree fringed fairways. It
is from hole number 5 however, that the most extraordinary part
begins, offering wonderful views over the Atlantic Ocean. At hole
number 8 the course turns back inland and faces the largest of its
two lakes. For the next four holes the course again turns seawards
and ends with a Par 4 hole which green is surrounded by the waters
of the second lake. A remarkable end to a remarkable course.
The course also has an excellent practice area.
